For those wanting an FAA ATP now is the time..

Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

For those wanting an FAA ATP now is the time..

An ICAO CPL or ATPL is also one of the acceptable prerequisites to do the flight test ie you don't have to have an FAA CPL if you have an ICAO equivalent or higher.

you also need ICAO IR/IFR rating. I presume you have it as part of fixed wing CPL, but no mention of it specifically.

Just a thought. Is it possible that this is in preparation for a reciprocity strike against the EASA requirements for dual licensing?. The FAA have been far to quiet about that stupid ruling for my liking.

If you do not meet the requirements for an ATP and take the practical test before the expiration of the written exam, you will need to retake it.

FSI Farnborough and Paris only.

Not as easy as it sounds to do it though, a lot of requests and I am afraid it is too late now to arrange it before the end of July.

There is no "getting" an FAA ATP based on an EASA ATPL. The FAA only grants private pilot certificates based on foreign licenses.

The only FAA test sites in the Pacific are at Osan and Kadena and Guam.

Hi Guys,

Do you all understand like me that you don't even need a current FAA medical to take the written exam?
Also since you don't need an endorsement, can I just contact any test center and arrange with them to take the exam?

Regards!

No medical required for the theory exam ('written') but at least a Class 3 for the flight test ('checkride'). No instructor sign off required to do the written nor the checkride - unless you fail then you need an instructor to recommend you for a re-do.

Hi Guys, ok here's my situation. I've just sat and passed the FAA written exams. I have an EASA licence and a B737 300-900 TR attached which is current etc. I have over 1500 hours TT with over 1300hrs on the 738. My understanding is, all I have to do is go through the licence verification process etc and then do a FAA 737 Type Rating and during my LST they do the ATP check ride all in one thus giving me a FAA ATP licence with a 737 Type attached. I've been advise no check in an actual plane of any sort is required.


Is the above correct?

FAA 737 Type Rating
Check out the requirements for actually having to do the whole rating, due to your hours on type you might qualify for a shorter course.

I did my FAA ATP rating earlier this year as a "prior experience" course based on my EASA ATPL with G-V type rating; I did the written then took the FAA checkride in the Gulfstream sim right after my planned EASA OPC/LPC. That was several months ago but I'm still waiting for the certificate, I guess they are a bit busy!! No medical required if taking a checkride in a sim!

Mutt, with your hours on the 73 I'm sure you would qualify for the "prior experience" course; check it out!

Happy landings
